The lucky buyer of this 1.89-acre parcel of prime Malibu property in the exclusive Winding Way area will receive an approved coastal development permit that allows one to contract with L.A.’s Archive Design Group to build a custom compound.

Think a trio of rustic contemporary structures—including a five-bedroom, 8,459-square-foot main home, a pool house and a guest house—all designed with walls of glass, an organic palette and materials, and a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Not to mention panoramic views of Point Dume, Santa Monica, and the Escondido Canyon and Falls.

“This is an extremely unique opportunity to construct an ocean-view home in an extraordinary locale,” says Sandro Dazzan of The Agency, who is co-listing the property with Mauricio Umansky and Sacha Radford, also of The Agency, for $3.3 million. “It has all of the makings of a magnificent masterpiece, complete with every amenity imaginable.”

 

Situated at 5849 Murphy Way—atop a hill, just minutes from town and the sand—the compound’s plans call for a three-level main house boasting vaulted wood ceilings, a media room, wine cellar and atriums that illuminate the lower levels with natural light.

The pool house will feature a kitchenette, gym and spa-like bath with steam room, while the guest house will have one bedroom, one bath, a kitchen and living room. Also on tap is a wealth of outdoor entertaining spaces, along with courtyards, a dramatic infinity pool, and a three-car garage and private drive.

“Not only is this a great investment,” says Dazzan, “but it also is a chance to build a one-of-a-kind residence offering an incredible lifestyle.” Sold!
